Travel in Peru

It’s safe to say that travel is incredibly important for Megan Spurrell and Henry Urrunaga Diaz, both of whom travel the world for a living: Megan is a Californian who works as the associate director of articles at Condé Nast Traveler in New York, and Henry is a Peruvian who films his adventures for his YouTube channel. The pair met through friends in 2014 while spending a few months in Rio de Janeiro around the time of the World Cup. They’ve lived together in Henry’s native Lima, traveled around Southeast Asia in tandem, and logged some long-distance years before settling in New York City in 2019.

Heritage Group chairman Manfredi Lefebvre d’Ovidio has spent decades focused on the top end of luxury travel, from ultra-expensive cruises, to private jet tours, to off-the-beaten-track safari tours for the rich.

Unlike coffee plantations, wine cultivation isn’t restricted by elevation or latitude, and in South America, you’re sure to stumble across vintages being made in well-known destinations such as Mendoza’s Uco Valley or Chile’s Maipó Valley. But there are a host of unexpected, up-and-coming regions across the continent, where you can sample vintages often paired with epic scenery, away from the crowds, yet surrounded by warm hospitality. Take Argentina’s extremely elevated La Quebrada de Humahuaca canyon, where light red Criolla and herbal, blackcurrant Malbec are produced at 8,200 feet above sea level. Peru’s Ica Valley, meanwhile, is usually known for Pisco production but now is the time to try the eight aromatic grape varieties as wine, rather than a spirit. As for Uruguay's glitzy Punta del Este beach resort town, a cluster of wineries are making crunchy ocean-influenced whites that pair perfectly with local catches of the day. Given the vast size of South America, explore this unsung terroir by car—it'll allow you to move slowly, and get even further off the well-trod path (good news: many of the area's wineries have stylish stays right on site).

I love Lima—it's the city my partner is from, yes, but it's also home to mind-shattering seafood, a great surf scene, nightlife, and some seriously underrated indie fashion. I'm lucky to visit two or three times a year, but the blessing and curse is that we always stay with family. I love them, but blow-up mattresses and a shared bathroom with my 18- and 20-year-old nieces have their expiration dates.
